Steps to reproduce:

Inspected network requests in Network tab in developer toolbar

Actual results:

Expected results:

Tab should contain list of requests.

Thanks for reporting!
Do you have a consistent STR?

See also Bug 1660435, which would add an App Error boundary to catch and handle these errors.

Can you help us?

I have been trying to be aware to notice exactly when and how this happens but it has not happened anymore for some time.
I definitely can't reproduce this at will. I'll report back if it starts happening again with more information if possible.

Thanks
